Time for a Give Away!

I see my followers count has surpassed 500!  I can't believe it.  When I started my blog I was hoping to get to know others who loved crocheting and knitting as much as I do.  There is so much talent out there, and I love the blogs that I follow and all the inspiration they give me.  With that being said, I do believe it is time for my first give away!  You want to get your name in the bucket, simply comment.  I will draw a winner next Saturday and post it Sunday.  The give away will be something very roostery...that's all I say! 

Now for this weeks crochet insanity...tiny hooties crocheted from embroidery floss.

Yes, I've been experimenting again!   I can't decide exactly what to do with them.  They are the perfect size and weight for little pins, but I can also see them with dangling hearts.

Isn't he cute??!! 

This guy is tiny!  But extremely cute!

Have y'all seen the Luna Scarf??  I found it on ravelry and knew I had to try it.  I love it, it is instant scarfy gratification.

The pattern uses a very fine yarn, which I am sure to try, but I just grabbed from my stash.  I started one in a variegated yarn, but didn't like it.  Yes, I know it's hard to believe, but I think these are so much prettier done in a solid color.  You can find the pattern here. 

Now....check it out in red!

I am off to do that Sunday afternoon thing!  Y'all have a good week!

Gettin My Hook On!

I have always thought a picture is worth a thousand words...so I'll show you what I've been up to this week.  I have been hooking owls.  The idea came to me driving home from work one evening.  The rest is history.  This is little guy is what a week's worth of crocheting and working out ideas have resulted in.  And I think I am most pleased with the results.

This was the first one I worked up.  Cute, I know, but I thought he could be cuter.

All very cute.  I like the little short one.  But, still...not quite there.

 Then this little guy, made from some chunky yarn in my scrap basket.

Getting there.  But not quite happy with his little horns. 

Getting there...I added a little yellow in the eyes and made his horns a little more pointy.  LOL!

Definitely getting there.  I really liked this chunky yarn, too.

Awww...now that's it...some wings!  OK...my work here is done!  I will be bringing a pattern soon.  But right now I am trying to crank as many of these guys out for a craft sale coming in November. 

Everyone have a great week and keep those creative juices flowing!
